Hires sex offenders, knowingly! Protect our children

Beth Berndt

They knowingly employ two sex offenders, and have them to work with children. You cannot rehabilitate a sex offender. They are lower than low will never step foot in this place ever again only pedophiles employee other pedophiles.

After seeing they have two sex offenders working there and not warning the public about it I will definitely never come and eat there and let alone trust child being there you should be ashamed of yourselves.

First trip here, the fish was excellent extremely fresh tasting and a large filet. Lobster bisque was good as were the hush puppies. Loved the cole slaw. Overall its an excellent place for fresh fish as many don't have the assortment of fish to choose from as Hil-Mak does.
We will be back!

Had the fresh Erie perch sandwich. The sandwich was flavorless. Couldn't even taste the fish. Had the clam chowder, it was salty and some of the potatoes were huge and Celery was still hard and not done. The salad was okay. Nothing special.

Went here on our motorcycles and had lunch. Very nice establishment. Friendly staff. Excellent service. We had the Perch on the lake dinner with twice baked potatoes and everything was perfect and fresh. They were just getting their new bar up and running but did not partake. They did however give us a sample of their new corn ribs. Phew! I could eat those and some other seafood bites and drink spirits all day there. Highly recommend and hope to find myself back there again.

On August the 28th, my girlfriend and I decided to stop down and have her birthday dinner at Hil-Mok. We walk in and are seated after about 5 minutes. Waitress was nice place looked stunning followed by Post Malone Country slop music. We ordered HALIBUT tacos as a starter. We receive SHRIMP tacos, disappointed but my girlfriend and I work in food, so we usually let a mistake fly. Shrimp was dry and it was topped with nothing but crunchy veggies. 2/5 for those. Then the chef proceeds to come out and ask us how our CHICKEN tacos are…. Staff doesn’t even know what they’re plating and handing out?? I order a salmon with scallops, asparagus and a baked potato. My girlfriend orders a filet (MEDIUM) salmon, baked potato, and rice. We wait about 45 minutes for that with about 2-3 other tables seated at the time. No big deal. We get our food and she cuts into her steak, wow the thing is still Mooing. My asparagus is floppy and lacks any flavor, the baked potato’s looked like a dried soggy cooch, not even a slab of butter. Scallops were amazing but lacking something, like they had the texture of a jello. The waitress comes asks us how we were doing, and after their first mistake I let them know , hey her steaks pretty rare, and we didn’t want to inconvenience and waste more of our vacation time so , no we do not want to send it back. Never seen the chef come out and apologize or anything. Rice was terrible on her plate, looked like minute rice and they just plopped it on the plate. The salmon was okay a 3/5 on a good day. We get our bill , and after the steak that moos, on the bill we are charged for a 28$ MEDIUM cooked steak. The least they could’ve done was take 10-15 dollars off for a quarter eaten rare steak that was not what we ordered. The place screams elegance and all I got was a jail spin on seafood elegancy. Steer clear from this tourist stop. PS for all that we spent 120$!!!

Comfortably Numb

If you are ever in the Ashtabula area and seeing the covered bridges and touring the wineries in Ohio, don't miss the opportunity to eat great seafood at Hil -Mak's restaurant. We have been at this restaurant a few years ago and then again 2 days ago. Our hostess April seated us and Christina was our server. Jeff (owner) chef also stopped by. I had their halibut tacos and my my wife had the halibut which was just superb. The tacos were OK and I should have had the fresh fish selection. Maybe next time. April, Jennifer and the courtesy visit by Jeff was great. Can't wait to be it that area again!

I was a little disappointed splurged and got the shrimpster and everything was a little overcooked I don't know if it set under the heat lamps too long or I just have to say I was disappointed because I've gotten fish from their market many times and it was good
